I am hesitant to even mention Novell at this point but I saw this article "Novell credits Microsoft for soaring Linux sales" wherein Novell gushes about how well they are doing thanks to their satanic pact with Microsoft. Novell says its Linux business has grown by 243 percent over the last three quarters, and it largely credits its deal with Microsoft. Of course it credits Microsoft as there is nothing else goi I am hesitant to even mention Novell at this point but I saw this article “Novell credits Microsoft for soaring Linux sales” wherein Novell gushes about how well they are doing thanks to their satanic pact with Microsoft.
